What the National Weather Service wrote

Tree down on the road near Hwy 1 and Jules Dr in Donaldsonville. Time estimated by radar.

The wider storm

The local area was on the eastern periphery of an upper level ridge. A weak frontal boundary was slowly sagging in from the northeast due to the presence of an upper level trough along the east coast of the United States. Strong daytime heating combined with ample moisture in place and weak surface boundary convergence created an environment conducive for heavy rainfall and a few severe thunderstorms.

Began near Palo Alto (30.0800, -91.0300).
